DEEP GREEN ANNOUNCES UK’ S FASTEST AI COLOCATION DEPLOYMENT
Deep Green, a builder and operator of sustainable, highdensity data centres, has announced AI-ready colocation capacity deployable in as little as four weeks at its Urmston facility in Manchester. This is one of the fastest AI infrastructure deployments currently available in the UK today. The site provides sovereign, UK-based capacity designed for highdensity AI and HPC workloads.
For many organisations, the barrier to scaling AI is no longer GPUs or software, it’ s infrastructure. Power availability, planning delays and legacy data centre designs mean new capacity can take years to deliver. Deep Green’ s modular architecture allows AI workloads to be deployed in weeks, rather than years, giving organisations immediate access to secure, UK-hosted compute capacity.
The Urmston facility is purpose-built for modern AI workloads. It supports rack densities of up to 150kW, designed for GPU clusters and high-performance computing. The infrastructure operates at a sub 1.2 Power Usage Effectiveness( PUE), making it substantially more efficient than many conventional data centres. This combination of high-density capability and efficient operation allows organisations to run demanding AI workloads with predictable performance and lower operating costs.
Unlike conventional facilities, Deep Green’ s infrastructure captures waste heat generated by AI compute and repurposes it locally. The heat can be used by nearby buildings and community facilities. By integrating heat reuse directly into the design of its sites, Deep Green reduces the environmental impact of high-performance computing while delivering local energy benefits.
Supporting some of the world’ s largest providers across advanced technology industries including data centres, Jacobs has released a Data Center Digital Twin solution that enables developers and owners to plan, simulate and optimise gigawatt-scale AI data centres in a virtual environment – improving speed to market, energy performance and longterm operations.
capital,” said Jacobs Chair and Chief Executive Officer, Bob Pragada.“ With our deep knowledge, global workforce and decades of delivering the world’ s most advanced facilities, we’ re creating solutions that help owners plan more efficiently, improve performance and achieve more secure and resilient long-term operations.” �
The digital twin solution, developed using the NVIDIA Omniverse DSX blueprint, combines a standardised reference design for a gigawatt-scale AI data centre with a hyper-realistic virtual environment, along with advanced simulations of compute, power and cooling systems, to serve as a real-time virtual twin of an AI data centre.
The solution allows for secure integration of components both inside and outside the data centre, from on-premises power configurations to cutting-edge simulations of indoor airflow. By integrating compute, power, cooling, water systems and site specifics, the solution provides visibility from early planning through virtual commissioning, operations and maintenance.
“ Advanced facilities are becoming increasingly complex and costly to build, and as AI infrastructure scales to the gigawatt level owners need greater certainty before committing
